Junior High Boys Basketball season comes to an end
December 10, 2020
By Coach Dustin Lanke
We started the season with 10 players in grades 6th-8th, but were only able to dress 8 for the first 3 games, due to some COVID related circumstances.
In a season riddled with game cancellations and low numbers, the A team finished 0-7 and the B team was only able to play 2 games, finishing 1-1.
Last season, we were fortunate to have 10 8th graders on the A team, which meant that we had no returning players with A team experience this year. Of the 10 players on the team this season, 4 of them were 6th graders, who were thrust right into A games against much older competition. The story of our season was getting off to a slow start in the first 2 quarters. We would often fall behind early in the first half by double digits. However, we had quite a few games where we made some good adjustments out of the locker room and turned double digit deficits into 1 or 2 possession ball games. Most notably, we were down 13-30 against Wibaux at halftime and only ended up losing 42-46. I was impressed with the way the boys handled adversity throughout the season.
I like the way the future looks for the younger boys on the team - they played well as a group in the two B games they were able to play this season. The 6th grade boys improved a lot throughout the season and they will be an integral part of the team's success next season. It was disappointing that our end of the season tournament was cancelled, but at least we were fortunate enough to have a season and play some games.
